HIS AGONIES
His agonies

Tears rolling down from his beautiful eyes,
Reflecting the grief loaded in his heart.
The heart wrenching tales of his loved ones,
Giving immense pain to the listener.
The never ending struggle of his life.
Can breaks anybody's heart.
Striving hard to survive in this cruel world,
With all his might and hardship.
A noble soul but defeated by fate and destiny,
I saw him breaking.

THE DARK HOLDS NO TERRORS

The dark holds no terrors

People say dark holds terror,

the belief which has captured,

our minds since childhood,

is it true, I don’t think so.

The dark holds no terror,

The terrors are inside us,

in our hearts and minds,

we weave it on our false belief,

on the myths and believes of others.

We nourish it unexpectedly

and slowly-slowly it stretches

like a fierce claw

on our own personality

giving us a major threat,

leading to a state of insecurity.

This fear is a mere illusion,

or just our own imagination,

which we have to overcome,

as the dark holds no terror,

but the terrors are inside us.

THERE IS MUSIC ALL AROUND

There is music all around...

In the chirping of birds,

waking with the rising sun.

In the buzzing of bees,

Trying to fulfil their daily needs.

In the ringing of the Church and Temple bells,

In the Call for prayer,

by the Muezzin in the Mosque.

In the thunder & lightening shaking this earth,

In the roaring of Ocean’s tides,

bringing excitement to life.

The sound made by the flowing stream,

trying to fulfil its earnest dream.

The falling of fountains from the mountain-high,

thrilling the onlooker passing by.

In the raindrops falling from the sky,

On the rooftops of building low and high.

There is music all around,

Just we should have a heart,

to feel it, to absorb in it,

to mesmerize our soul in it.
